The Ross 154 have chosen their end. There is nothing to be gained from listening to their posturing and mewling any longer. Not only are their terms for our empire's capitulation ludicrous, they now stoop to the vain hope of asking our fellow Accord members to 'forget about the Erkirithi-Sha' . Alre...

To the Ross 154, and their pet lizards - the Krullen: We shall not dwell on the absurdity and hypocrisy evident in your behaviour. That you should couch your phrases in such survivalist tones - as if you were an aggrieved species - when the naked aggression and fatalism of your invasion is so evide...

The Empire of the Erkirithi-Sha waits with impatience for news of the implementation of the policies of the representatives of the Great Assisted-Divinity of the Emperor . . .

Is it? I thought the governor bonus was just a +1 to the planet's CCs.

I think it would be good if the governor also had some other impact on game mechanics, to make it different from simply another kind of colony upgrade.

To our valued allies, the T'Lesir Core : We are not surprised that a race in your territorial sphere has willingly formed part of your empire. For them to be treated on equal footing with yourselves, they must be a highly evolved race. Our scientists are now making arguments that the members of the...

a means of establishing peace. Who's peace? Yours? Mine? Unquestionably, the peace is that dictated by the signatories of the Accord . It seems unlikely that this peace will be counter to any orthodox conceptions of the word. You must consider, as we have already mentioned, that the Accord deals wi...

The only condition through which the Accord can lead to violence is if non-signatories aggress in the territories it encompasses. Signatories who aggress outside of the territories mentioned in the articles will find that their fellow signatories have no obligation to support them. At its heart, the...

The right by which we (the signatories) dictate the peacable policy of the territories mentioned, and the use of the wormholes, is only the right we have created. The articles bind only the members of the Accord to act; you can ignore the Accord if you wish - though the repercussions may be unpleasa...

Ah, now that was a great last post (by Bernard). Brought back fond memories . . .

Btw, what's the chance of Joe Marlowe's rocket ship flying through Rise and Fall of Empires space?

Fine by me.

It is the considered opinion of the Erkirithi-Sha that the wormhole should be safely guarded by the T'Lesir , an enlightened and benevolent species. Therefore, we announce our support for the T'Lesir Core's expansion into the territories they have specified. Though we do not wish to engulf space in ...

CHAIRMAN KALAID ANNOUNCES PROTECTORATE To the inhabitants and empires of the Greater Galaxy, A few weeks ago, our empire was forwarded, by clandestine means, a most remarkable solicitation for aid from the Khatan Imperium . As has become common knowledge, the leader of the Khatan Imperium was assas...

What about instituting a competition, like the ones for Pantheon, concerning the Xenopaedia? For instance, everyone could submit something on their species' religious perspectives and, after votes are collated, the winner receives a small CC bonus. Just a thought.

Egghhh - they can stick their more ships. I have enough for what I need.

That's the same price as us doing it ourselves . . .
